Brakes were on all wheels but at first the front brakes were operated by the handbrake and the rear by the footbrake, becoming fully coupled in 1930.
The footbrake operated on all four wheels via a hydraulic control mechanism.
The footbrake operated mechanically on the drive shaft while a cable operated handbrake applied stopping power to the rear wheels.
The footbrake system moved to drums on the rear axle in 1913.
For the first time the footbrake operated, still using a cable linkage, on all four wheels, and the suspension system was also reworked.
The footbrake used a hydraulic control mechanism and operated on all four wheels.
The hand brake is instead intended for use in case of mechanical failure where the regular footbrake is inoperable or compromised.
Unless one drives on one's footbrake, which is unusual, then it is not a nuisance.
